This week, Ciara discusses important yet easily doable practices and habits to increase your insulin sensitivity and explains why it’s so important to do so. Insulin sensitivity has so much to do with our weight, mood, sleep, and reducing the risk of so many diseases from diabetes and beyond. Ciara covers how you can upgrade your nutrition, eating schedule, and commitment to fitness to gain balance of your blood sugar and regulate your hormones for a stronger and healthier version of yourself.

In this episode, you will learn more about:

• Balancing our insulin is the first step in hormonal balance and overall health and well being.
• There are simple yet powerful ways to increase your insulin resistance with your nutrition, fitness, meal timing, and sleep.
• There is a huge connection between how sensitive your body is to insulin and your lean muscle to fat ratio.
